Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-3092:
---------------------------------------
I don't completely understand how this works. Is the getMergeScheduler() method
intended to be used to set the MergeScheduler on the IndexWriter this directory
is opened for? Why only support CMS?
> NRTCachingDirectory, to buffer small segments in a RAMDir

> I created this simply Directory impl, whose goal is reduce IO
> contention in a frequent reopen NRT use case.
> The idea is, when reopening quickly, but not indexing that much
> content, you wind up with many small files created with time, that can
> possibly stress the IO system eg if merges, searching are also
> fighting for IO.
> So, NRTCachingDirectory puts these newly created files into a RAMDir,
> and only when they are merged into a too-large segment, does it then
> write-through to the real (delegate) directory.
> This lets you spend some RAM to reduce I0.
